If you watch Mad Men, you’ll notice Peggy, Joan and Betty’s lives seem to be falling apart at times, and yet they’re always put together. Dressed to the nines whether they’re baking, puffing on a cig, or preparing a stiff cocktail for guys in the office. It shows stereotypes and real life situations of women in the 60′s, but the acting is great and the wardrobes alone are too stunning not to watch. They inspired me to create my own MadMen look in my favorite fall color, RED.
I found this dress at one of my favorite boutiques in San Francisco called Belle Cose. When I saw this dress in the window, I instantly thought of MadMen and then we took these pictures below.

Are you a fan of retro styles and “Mad Men?”
Happy Halloween and have fun in whatever costume you wear!

You look amazing in that dress and I love the props. I was wondering how you managed to stand on the hood of that rusty car with your heels on. I am so clumsy lol Also, Loved reading about Mad Men. It’s interesting because 60s is known for the women’s liberation movement. Very interesting decade.

great pics.. way to over come your childhood fears girl.. lol
great dress.. red is always amazing
I am definitely a fan of retro styles. I always like incorporating vintage pieces in my outfits. Although I don’t watch Mad Men, I still appreciate the fab clothes. That red dress is a steal and I love the location. It’s perfect for Halloween!
I haven’t decided what to dress as yet for Halloween, but I’m leaning towards Grecian Goddess.

That shoot is so fun – nicely done!
Between Mad Men and How I Met Your Mother, the thought of ‘Suiting Up’ is more common for men.
And I love it. I look damn good in a suit, and now it’s a little more acceptable.
Fierce.

That’s no Chevrolet, Ms. Spice. That’s a Lincoln Continental. Probably made in 1965.

@Rider, Oops, You’re right! It is a Lincoln Continental. I guess I should stick to clothes, not cars hehe

WOW gorgeous photoshoot! Love the dress, love the shoes (OMGoodness) and am enthralled by the juxtaposition of the old car that you’re standing on! I bet you WERE creeped out! Looks like it may have been eerily spooky being a couple of girls out there! Very appropriate for Halloween!

Lincolns were luxury cars in the 60′s, Ms. Spice. But you made that rusted-out, old wreck look better in 2011 than it ever looked in ’65.
U look absolutely splendid in this ravishing red!! Gorgeous!;)
